Irrationality is a perceptual style focused on sensory impressions, intuitive flashes, and sensitivity to the states of body and mind.
• Tends to act improvisationally, watching how the situation unfolds
• Generally flexible and tolerant
• May change decisions frequently
• Takes on many things but may lose interest and drop them midway
• Movements appear smooth and soft
• Leadership tends to be democratic (bottom-up)
• Stress tolerance is relatively high
Dynamic types perceive the world as a continuous flow of change, attending to transitions, progressions, and direction.
• Tends to perceive the world as a continuous process of change and flux
• Attends to transitions, progressions, and the direction things are heading
• Remembers events as narratives and flows
• Sensitive to processes and fluidity unfolding over time
• Attends less to states themselves than to how things have changed (past → future)

Characteristic Behaviors and Cognition
• Recalls memories as moving, video-like sequences
• Sensitive to changes in people and situations, flexibly adjusting behavior and judgment
• Predicts what will happen next from the drift of the situation
• Interested in the tendencies and direction of ongoing change rather than what is fixed
Serious types believe in objective, absolute standards of correctness and approach encounters and relationships through step-by-step, formal processes.
Emotions and Relationships
• Has difficulty reading emotional atmospheres and subtle moods
• Does not separate fun from activity — enjoyment is embedded within the activity itself
• Encounters must pass through step-by-step, formal processes (e.g., greetings and introductions)
• Values information such as names and titles; without a proper introduction, does not consider someone an acquaintance

Worldview and Judgment Style
• Believes correctness is determined by objective, absolute standards
• Personal opinions and experience matter, but beyond them there is “an answer that holds in general”
• In discussion, presents “the correct method” itself rather than their own view

Behavioral Tendencies
• Asks “who did it?” rather than “why did they do it?”
• When a mistake bothers them, would rather redo it themselves than explain
• Tends to believe there is a single correct answer for methods and actions

Speech and Vocabulary
• Frequent objective assertions: “this way is the most efficient,” “this is not correct”
• Rarely negotiates concepts; assumes a “correct definition” already exists
• When explaining actions, relies on examples and marks right and wrong explicitly

Logical types tend to lean toward objectivism (Serious)
Obstinate types treat their interests and aims as sacred and inviolable, while treating resources as flexible tools.
Core Values
• Interests (aims and passions) are sacred and inviolable
• Resources (possessions and abilities) are flexible tools to be used

Behavior and Psychology
• When interested, does not give up even without the resources: “if I lack them, I’ll work until I have them”
• Strong attachment and sense of identity toward their interests, tastes, and principles
• Not much bothered when others use their possessions or time, but reacts strongly against intrusions on their values
• Prone to reject outside pushes and suggestions of interests (“why not try this?”)

Example Remarks
• “If resources are short, I’ll find a way to make up for them”
• “If I gave up my interests that easily, I would fall apart”
• “No matter how busy I am, I can’t cut what I love”
• “I don’t want others steering my interests”
Result types take a bird’s-eye view oriented toward outcomes and goals, with clear beginnings and endings.
Key Characteristics
• Views things from above, oriented toward results and goals
• Conscious of the boundaries between beginning and end
• Does not immerse deeply in the process; handles several things in parallel
• Tends to skim or read for key points
• A top-down type: grasps the whole first, then moves to details

Speech Tendencies and Vocabulary
• Frequent words: “result,” “goal,” “beginning and end,” “milestone,” “outlook”
• Reactions like “so what does it come to?” “is that the end of it?”

Behavioral Tendencies
• What matters is where things arrive, more than how they proceed
• Feels strong discomfort and irritation with work whose end is not in sight
• A multitasker who manages several tasks in parallel
Positivist types perceive the world through what exists and what has been achieved, and seek to optimize and polish what is already in place.
Cognitive and Expressive Tendencies
• Perceives things as “what exists” and “what has been realized”
• Seeks to optimize and refine what is already there
• Relatively open and affirmative at first meetings
• Uses affirmative expressions more than negative ones (“can do,” “there is”)
• Even when pointing out a problem, adds an affirmation: “we have this, but we also have that”

Examples (affirmative framing)
• “This glass is half full”
• “We’ve already raised $438,000”
• “On this point, I think you’re right”
Aristocratic types tend to perceive people through groups (social categories, professions, attributes). First impressions and relationships are often based on how they evaluate the group a person seems to belong to.
• Tends to perceive others through labels and group affiliations such as “from such-and-such a place” or “someone from that field”
• Emphasizes hierarchy and position within groups, and the distinction between “us” and “outsiders”
• Frequently uses phrases like “that person is a typical representative of such-and-such”
• Friendships and trust are influenced by how they evaluate the group a person seems to belong to
• Comfortable with self and others being described in terms of social roles and positions
• Strong sense of “our group” and “our circle”
・Relaxed.
・Goes with the flow.
・Easily spends long periods doing nothing or at very low energy levels.
・Movements are flexible and unhurried.
・Little tendency to move restlessly even during prolonged periods of inactivity.
IP (Introverted Perceiver) is dynamic and irrational, perceiving reality as continuously and gradually, often imperceptibly, changing. IP finds comfort in this, viewing reality through their leading function. This leads to a relaxed tendency to accept things as they are and adapt to them.
As an introvert, IP is relaxed about initiating relationships with others and tends to be somewhat passive. They primarily assume that others will take the initiative.
